“Real Friends” is an introspective track from Camila Cabello in which she struggles to find genuine friends:

This song is about feeling lonely and disilluded by people in LA while I was away from home

On… Read More [Verse 1]

No, I think I'll stay in tonight

Skip the conversations and the "Oh, I'm fine's"

No, I'm no stranger to surprise

This paper town has let me down too many times

Why do I even try?

Give me a reason why

I thought that I could trust you, never mind

Why all the switching sides?

Where do I draw the line?

I guess I'm too naive to read the signs

[Chorus]

I'm just lookin' for some real friends

All they ever do is let me down

Every time I let somebody in

Then I find out what they're all about

I'm just lookin' for some real friends

Wonder where they're all hidin' out

I'm just lookin' for some real friends

Gotta get up out of this town (Oh, ooh)

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, yeah

[Verse 2]

I stay up, talkin' to the moon (Ooh)

Been feelin' so alone in every crowded room

Can't help but feel like somethin's wrong, yeah

'Cause the place I'm livin' in just doesn't feel like home

[Chorus]

I'm just lookin' for some real friends

All they ever do is let me down

Every time I let somebody in

Then I find out what they're all about

I'm just lookin' for some real friends

Wonder where they're all hidin' out

I'm just lookin' for some real friends

Gotta get up out of this town

[Post-Chorus]

Oh

Lookin' for some real friends

Oh, oh-oh

[Bridge]

I just wanna talk about nothin' with somebody that means something

Spell the names of all the dreams and demons for the times that I don't understand

Tell me, what's the point of a moon like this when I'm alone again?

Can I run away to somewhere beautiful where nobody knows my name?

[Chorus]

I'm just lookin' for some real friends

All they ever do is let me down

Then, I let somebody in

But I find out what they're all about

I'm just lookin' for some real friends

All they ever do is let me down

I'm just lookin' for some real friends

Gotta get up out of this town, yeah

[Post-Chorus]

Oh (Ah)

Oh, yeah, ah
